<p>Also, when next taking heavy antibiotics treatment for some reason don&#39;t forget to mention you had your appendix removed. The appendix stores a &#39;sample&#39; of your intestinal flora when all the rest is destroyed by antibiotics, so without appendix you might get complications. <br />

<p>Also, I share Luke Baxter&#39;s assessment. A recalibration of the end of the Roman empire would certainly benefit the other listeners and myself. With less than 100 years before the stated end, maybe something to consider:</p>
<p>Some options for an &quot;alternate ending&quot;:</p>
<p>-565: The death of Justinian (if I&#39;m not mistaken, the last Latin speaking Roman Emperor and the last Roman Emperor of the Italian peninsula)</p>
<p>-May 29th, 1453 (Fall of Constantinople and symbolic end of the Byzantine Empire)</p>
<p>-The end of WW1 (the end of the Kaiser and the Tsar, both rooted from Caesar, also the end of the Ottoman Sultan who may have still claimed the title Caesar of Rome) [okay wishful thinking probably, but I&#39;d still listen every week]</p>sHx commented on 'Well that was unexpected...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a01053629a711970c015392dc789d970b2011-11-07T07:33:54Z2011-11-07T07:33:54ZsHxGet well soon, mate!

<p>You&#39;re not allowed to fall until after the Empire falls. And we&#39;re all dreading the day.</p>
<p>I went on a History of Rome fast recently so I have about six or seven precious episodes on which I intend to feast some day.</p>
<p>To all those who groaned when they found no episode this week, History of Rome is addictive. Listen to it in moderation.</p>
